Envy

Meng Tou thought that this night was enough, the little daughter-in-law must be very sleepy.Unexpectedly, just after wiping his face and hands, the man clung to him and refused to let him go.So he untied his clothes and put the Yanhuo Ling on the stool beside the bed.

Strange to say, this man's hands and feet were cold, but his body was as hot as fire, almost burning him to death.Originally Meng Tou planned to allow him only once as usual, but his young wife grabbed his arm and entangled him again and again.In the middle of the night, the man shouted hoarsely, leaning in his arms.

Love | During the incident, Meng Tou asked a lot of words softly, fearing that he would not be able to bear it and that he would be in pain.Yan Zhaohan never responded, Meng Tou thought he was just tired and speechless, so he didn't feel relieved.At this moment, he pulled the man's sweaty hair behind his ears in the dark, called out his name twice, and asked tentatively, "Do you want to go and see Yan Er?"

Yan Zhaohan kissed his arm with soft lips, propped himself up, and put his arms around his neck.There was a lump in his throat, his fingers went deep into his black hair, and he asked again with a trembling voice: "You... Do you want to go to Lizhou to see Yan'er? Tell me."

Yan Zhaohan didn't respond, and leaned on him wearily.Meng Tou's profile leaned against his forehead, his heart trembling with pain: "Can't you hear, huh?"

……

On the evening of Huo Zhi's fifth day in town, Meng Tou finally calmed down and asked Huo Zhi to clarify the matter.He bought a few jars of wine in the inn, carried the jug upstairs, and knocked on the door a few times, but there was no response from inside.

Xue Ye opened the door of the room next door: "Hey, Brother Tou, are you here to find Huo Zhi?"

"He's not in the room, where has he been?"

"Go to the roof and have a look. He always likes to run there recently, basking in the moon."

Meng Tou patted him on the shoulder: "Then I'll go up." Then he searched on the roof.In fact, when he went there, he was still worried that he would run into Meng Xi, the young couple watched the moon together, if he disturbed them, it would be a sin.Fortunately, Meng Xi was not there.Huo Zhigu was sitting alone on the roof, seeing him, his reaction was flat: "Meng Tou."

Meng Tou sat next to him and stuffed him with a jug of wine.Two people have a drink under the moon.Meng Tou opened his mouth first: "I'm sorry about what happened a few days ago. I understand that you are also following orders. I act impulsively. If you say something wrong, don't worry about it."

Huo Zhi drank a few sips of Fenjiu: "You don't have to apologize to me, what I said that day was indeed a bit off. But Meng Tou, Mu Mi needs you to go back and calm down. I hope you will stop when it's time."

"Huo Zhi..."

"Today's twilight is like a rotten tree. Master passed away, Uncle Yu Qing and Master Xuchang ignore world affairs, those elders who have always bullied the weak and fear the hard have gained real power, and are hesitant in dealing with things. They just want to take care of themselves. They can't tolerate Yan Shaojun."

"Then what happened to Jiang Yi's followers?"

Huo Zhi drank up the small altar of wine: "Jiang Yi was rescued from Jingtang Mountain, Su Chuo gathered forces from all sides to recast the Ming Juemen. Mu Mi is in a desperate situation, the Li family in Pingyang, the Zhao family in Lizhou They all intend to remain neutral. If Jiang Yi really wants to destroy Mu Su... Judging from the current situation, it is not impossible."

Meng Tou put the empty wine jar aside and fell into deep thought.

"Meng Tou, if you insist on bringing the young master back to Mu Su, the elders will have nothing to do. As long as you succeed to the position of head, it will be easy to protect everyone."

Meng Tou said: "I want to ask Young Master first, if he is willing to come with me, then I will too..."

At this time, Xue Ye stepped in, sat between them, and put his shoulders on the two of them: "You two are chatting with each other in peace, are you reconciled?"

"We never had a falling out," he said.

"All right. It's okay if you fall out. After all, we are brothers. We will always be brothers." Xue Ye opened the last jar of wine and took a few sips. , Zhao Lin's Gypsophila is not bad, let's go back another day and get drunk again."

Meng Tou thought about it too. After they left their youth, they never got together to drink again.He scratched his hair irritably: "Mother, why did I always want to grow up back then? Am I sick?"

They chatted for a long time, talking about everything, because they drank some wine, and even started talking nonsense and joking.Until an empty wine jar rolled down from the roof, and someone screamed from below.They immediately came to their senses, thinking they had hit someone.

The man was safe, but he ran around anxiously, shouting: "Blind Meng Meng's house is on fire!" A group of people rushed northwest.Meng Tou looked up, in that direction, Yan Zhaohan's yard was shrouded in flames, and his mind went blank for an instant.

He immediately raised his luck and used lightness kung fu to sprint away from the eaves.Huo Zhi and Xue Ye followed closely behind.

The fire engulfed the house, beams collapsed, and a woman's shrill, shrill wailing came from the yard.The flames illuminated the faces of the panicked crowd.The screams of women and children, and the voices of neighbors directing water to save them, were mixed together for a while.Several men rushed into the courtyard and brought out a woman.

The woman's face had been burnt beyond recognition, and there were large burn marks on her arms.That's Miss Zhou.As soon as she was brought out, her mother fell beside her, crying uncontrollably.

Without the slightest hesitation, Meng Tou splashed himself with water and wanted to rush into the fire.Huo Zhi and Xue Ye held him back, not allowing him to leave.

His eyes were red, and he struggled to break free: "Let go!"

Huo Zhi roared, "Meng Tou! You will die if you go in! Look at the fire, there is no way Yan Zhaohan is still alive!"

As soon as Meng Tou said it, his voice was hoarse: "If it's Yan Miao, can you save it!"

Huo Zhi was slightly taken aback, and then he let go, and Meng Tou rushed over.Xue Ye hugged his waist tightly from behind: "If Yan Miao is inside, Huo Zhi will definitely save it. But as brothers, we will not just watch you die. Give up, Meng Tou, the fire is too big !"

No matter how Meng Tou beat him, Xue Ye refused to let go of his arm: "Even if he is dead! You have to let me go in and have a look, and let me see it with my own eyes before I'm reconciled!"

In the chaos, Xia Houyao ran towards Meng Tou, and after a few steps, she was caught by her mother.Her mother anxiously scolded: "Such a big fire, how dangerous it is, please don't run around!"

She struggled to break free.Weeping: "Aniang, I have something to tell Brother Meng, it's very important, I will be very careful."

Meng Tou over there was being held by the skirt of Miss Zhou's mother.Her face was full of tears, and she asked hysterically: "Why are you brothers again! Can you not come and harm our mother and daughter! Look at my daughter! If it wasn't for Meng Yan, she would have such a face! You ruined her Forever! Forever!"

Meng Tou looked at the burning yard expressionlessly as if he was dead.Mrs. Zhou collapsed and sat on the ground, tears streaming down her face: "Why is Fang'er's life so hard..."

Xue Ye knew that Meng Tou's heart had died, so he let go of him, went to help Mrs. Zhou get up, and comforted her while taking her back to Miss Zhou.Huo Zhi walked up to Meng Tou and put his arm around his shoulder.

Xia Houyao finally broke free from her mother, and ran to Meng Tou through the noisy crowd: "Brother Meng, Brother Yan was captured by a group of bad guys!"

Meng Tou's eyes brightened, he squatted down, and grabbed her arm: "What did you say, he was taken away?"

"Well. What I saw with my own eyes was that they set the fire!"

"Tell brother, what clothes are they wearing?"

"They were dressed in blue and each carried a scary sword and covered their faces."

Huo Zhi calmly said: "This is a member of Ming Jue Sect, Su Chuo should have sent someone to take Shaojun away. Don't worry, Meng Tou, since they have taken Shaojun away, they are determined to save him... yours Is the order of condemnation left in the house?"

Meng Tou reached out his hand and took out the fire extension order from his pocket, looked at it for a long time by the light of the fire, and finally said: "This fire extension order is fake, it has been swapped."

Ever since he got the Yanhuo Ling at the age of 20, this sign has never left his body. The last time he took it off was the night when he and Yan Zhaohan were happy.
